The game will feature a combination of elements from both series, switching between Professor Layton and Phoenix Wright. Layton’s segments will see the player exploring areas, talking with other characters and examining the backgrounds and objects; the use of the magnifying glass - which previously featured in Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask - allows you to explore the area while collecting clues and coins.

Phoenix Wright’s segments will feature a system based on the first Ace Attorney game, with the use of the strike system instead of the life bar used in later titles. The player will have to pay close attention to the reactions of each witness to find out who's being truthful.

Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney will be available in Japan next week, 29th November. No word has been given in terms of whether it'll make its way to the West, but it's safe to say we are waiting on the edge of our seats for this one.
